I would want to separate this into two components.  The action
should capture the user input.  And a subclass of RawScreen or
the T3 equivalent should be responsible for the PDF generation.
Perhaps the action captures input and puts it into a context
that gets used by the PDFScreen, or something like that.

In other words, treat the PDF generation as analogous to one of
the template mechanisms.
